Il Forno

There's better

Pizza is not great. Delivery took an hour and the food arrived cold. When I called the woman who answered the phone didn't even offer an apology. When I asked to speak to the manager she told me she was the manager. I suggest they get a manager with some customer service skills, more delivery people so food doesn't take an hour to arrive and pizza makers who can make a decent pizza.

Buffalo Wings

I got bbq wings. 6 wings for $7 and they were inedible. They looked good because they are thick so you would think they have plenty of meat. It's all fat! The pizza isn't bad.

what is wrong with nyc pizzerias making pasta!

day 1 -thick and flavorless fettucini alfredo, day 2 - my penne vodka was so watered down i had to eat it with a spoon. also needed parm cheese and pepper, it was so FLAVORless. However, their pizza slice that has bbq chicken and ranch sauce on it is SO GOOD, and even for someone with a huge appetite, one slice is enough.

Steer clear

Just ordered Fettuccine Bolognese from this place, which I've ordered before. Got Fettuccine with tomato sauce instead. Called to ask them to send the correct food and was first told I ordered something different and then told that I don't know what Bolognese sauce is, and that they sent the right thing...before they hung up on me. Called Seamlessweb who refunded my money, as I didn't want some spit in food sent to replace the order. It's sad that in this day of web reviews being posted faster than you can say the word delivery, people still insist on giving poor service.

You need more Il Forno Bruschetta in your life

The first Italian restaurant which we have taken out from in Gramercy and it will also be the last and only. On a whim, a roommate ordered their bruschetta - it is now a staple of our post-work diet. The bruschetta sandwich, as it is affectionately known on 18th St, is a toasted baguette stuffed with tomatoes, garlic and melted cheese which could be a meal in and of itself. The penne alla vodka is dynomite, as well as is the veal parm. We would recommend staying away from the fried calamari and meatballs. Having never actually been to the restaurant, we can not speak to the dining atmosphere, but the delivery service is always speedy.

Different? Better?

This place used to be known as Andiamo, an unassuming Sbarro-style Italian place that was unassuming and comfy for what it was. Since it became the more-upscale 'Il Forno,' the food has essentially remained the same while prices and decor have headed uphill. I cannot stress enough how strongly I feel about the pizza from this place. It just isn't that good at all. Not only are the ingredients applied carelessly, the delivery people seem to exercise no care at all in bringing you the pie/slices. As a previous reviewer alluded to, the cheese ends up in a sad heap because of odd angles that the product is held in during delivery. Having said that, everything else is quite good. From the pasta dishes, to the chicken entrees, to the hero sandwiches, to the burgers, everything is pretty good. Except the pizza. How ironic is that?! Don't get the buffalo wings, by the way. They are overpriced and not nearly meaty enough. But, then again, almost everything on the menu is now overpriced considering it's the same product as the old Andiamo. I understand the rising costs of cheese and other ingredients dictate higher prices for us customers, but this place is stuck somewhere between Sbarro and a local Trattoria. I appreciate the gigantic menu, but pizza is an intangible at a place like this.

A mess...

Just got the whole wheat reg pizza delivered. It came cold, tasteless and looked like the delivery guy held it on it's side the whole way from the restaurant to my apartment. There were slabs of fresh mozzerella which where tasteless, not at all melted, and looked like they threw the pizza together in haste. Really disappointed. Maybe they changed their name to revive business, but this is a bad start.
